Our vigil seemed all the more poignant for the continuing bad news coming out of the Middle East. Starvation of the people of Gaza, killing of those seeking relief from the very limited food outlets that have been provided, a growing lack of clean drinking water in Gaza, continuing destruction and land grabs within the West Bank, and an ever escalating war with Iran. When will the world wake up to the craziness of this situation and impose some sanity on the region. It is completely unacceptable for our government to continue selling arms to Israel and continue providing them with military intelligence.
